hey guys how are ya? the other night while backing in my heavy duty aluminum mowing trailer I noticed I have a serious amount of play in my shifter. its difficult to figure out what gear I have put it in because the gear indicator goes between say "P" and "R", or "D" and "2". I don't think its the cable to the transmission but perhaps the linkage on the back side of the shifter? anyone else have this issue?

Look up under the dash, above the brake pedal, and you'll see where the shift tube has an "L" at the bottom where the cable (that goes to the trans) is attached. That bracket is attached to the tube is attached to it with 2-Torx screws. Those screws become loose all the time.
